Late Night Can’t Get Enough of World Leaders Laughing at Trump

If you are man enough to dish it out, be man enough to take it!

Trump is as thin-skinned as he is crass and crude. Trevor Noah has found EXACTLY the right way to trump Trump, belittle him the same way he has belittled others on social media.

As kids, my brother and I would argue and fight. The moment an “outsider” attempted to start something with either of us we would unite because we knew we had to stick together regardless of the level of our own personal discord. Neither of us would have ever joined in with someone who sought to do harm to our family. Americans have license to criticize their own government. It is all together something else when a foreign power does it. Trump is a terrible version of a US President, but he is who we have. The truth is that these world leaders are not just laughing at and mocking Trump, they are mocking America. When the NYT (or that great America Trevor Noah) join in the mockery of our Country they need to realize they betray themselves. They also stoke the fires of the league of Trump voters and push us toward another 4 years of Trump misery. If we could only act like brothers.

I find it reassuring that world leaders see Trump as a buffoon, and a temporary aberration that they hope to simply wait out for one more year, before getting back to serious business. The Fox-fueled derangement of millions of American voters is a problem that won't go away so quickly. The next demagogue who seizes their enthusiasm is unlikely to be quite so clownish.

Trevor Noah is a gift that keeps on giving. And he has dimples to die for.

This is the kind of thing that should be beneath the dignity of the Old Grey Lady. Wallowing in the mud down at his petty level is going to stick in the minds of everyone except the most fervent of the resistance. Moderates like me find it as unbecoming as we find him.

Call me paranoid but do you really think that Trudeau didn’t know he was being recorded?

While we'd all rather have a president who avoids providing mirth to other world leaders, in a way it's a reality check that lets us know that we're not crazy, but Mr. Trump might be. When he addressed the UN General Assembly for the first time, Mr. Trump's inaccurate (and inappropriate) claim to have had the most effective first year of any president, his audience burst into laughter. Yes, it would be better for us if our president didn't generate so much mirth. But it's arguably better for the planet that even if our country buys into his alternate reality, the rest of the world does not.

I am hoping that, if he left NATO in a fit because they were laughing at him, he’d do us the same favor and resign if he found out how most of the country see him exactly as that Trump Baby balloon. He couldn’t deal with the much smaller inauguration crowd, and needs constant reassurance and trumped-up poll numbers just to get by.

Poor Tumplethinskin. How sad it must feel to be you. Why don't you go back to gilt-swaddled trump tower and rest awhile. We'll let you know when it's safe to come out again. Probably next never. Ah... Schadenfreude. So very satisfying.

We know what a thin skin Trump has, remember his comments when he was first parodied on SNL. I'm not sure how he'll cope with being openly challenged & laughed at in public by his international peers. Will this Presidential harassment never end?

Funny how thin skinned he is but now that I think of it most bullies are actually babies. He went to that meeting last year and did what he always does, sew chaos. He was afforded the respect of the office and used it to ridicule everyone there. This year they see him as what he is, a grifter, and treated him as such. Now that they’ve loaded the courts with an astonishing array of incompetent, biased judges it’s almost time for the republican leadership, if you can call them that, to throw him overboard. As soon as the taxes are made public there will be a mad stampede away from him, all the while screaming that they were duped.

December, 2020 headline: And so, it was through humor that the remaining 40% of the country finally woke up

Good evening. In Europe, and particularly in Italy, we are used to managing scoundrel and unreliable politicians like your president. The last politician of the caliber of Mr. Trump, his name was Benito Mussolini, and everyone knows how much damage he caused, although he did not have the power of the President of the United States.

Corden is a hoot.

I never thought I’d feel sorry for Donald Trump....

“That video is amazing for two reasons. One, it is crazy that we were able to hear a private conversation between major world leaders. Like did they not know this was happening?...". Or maybe they were aware of those probabilities and couldn't resist the free-throw. I know if given the opportunity, my comments would have been a bit stronger than "his team's jaw dropped".

Plenty of good shots landed on the Baby King. Still, it is worth noting that the best of late night last night was the immensely talented Angel Olsen singing "Summer" (on Kimmel) from her not to be missed album, "All Mirrors." Good music helps ease the pain of trumpism.

It's people like Megan Kelly and the rest of her ilk from the Faux New Network (and others) than we can at least partially thank for the state of american society. Telling blatant falsehoods to a national audience that's already been whipped into a frenzy by despicable politicians is not only irresponsible it is unpatriotic and most importantly, very dangerous. Megan and the Fox team of old and new have pushed us over the edge into an era of the "death of truth" where it's no okay to deny what you can see and hear clearly for yourself if you could only manage to see and hear it through the smoke screen and noise created by these people. A place where people deny agreed science and stick with a man so flawed that he's on the verge of killing our our 250 year old experiment in government for and by the people. We should not celebrate these people, we should condemn them. I'm glad Ms. Theron had moments of disgust and cringe when recreating this person for the big screen. The is as it should be and it is as it should be for all of us when we see this happening at this very moment by the likes of Fox and our politicians from every corner of the political spectrum. Megan should not be allowed to rehabilitate her reputation without truly apologizing for her role in the current mess this country faces and making concrete amends for what's she's been a part of. Where is our Cronkite?

We now have a long proven fact before us: the Late Night Hosts love Trump. Trevor Noah is running wild as are the rest. What was once unheard of is now common place. And it is sad to the President of the United States so parodied and insulted . . . despite how much it is all deserved.

How sad is this that we have become the laughing stock of the world. I blame the Republican leaders as much as Trump. Their defense of him during the Impeachment hearings is sickening. All they are able to do is insult the Democrats or insult the witnesses. They assisted in making him President and now they are doing their best to see that he stays in office. I don't know about anyone else, but this possibility scares the life out of me!

These late night monologues continue to be the only sources of comic relief from the disheartening and exasperating news of the day for the past 3 years. Thank you, Ms Bendix, for keeping tabs on all of this for us!
